He's been a super handful growing up, but over time we've learned to trust and he loves just being by my side no matter what I do... one of the best dogs I've owned by FAR
Border Springer Breed Maintenance
Due to the fact that both the Border Collie and the English Springer Spaniel are relatively low maintenance, there isn’t too much you need to do to keep your Border Springer clean. Both parent breeds tend to shed moderately all year long, so keep in mind that hair is going to be a constant presence in your home. The best way to keep the shedding to a minimum is to brush your Border Springer at least a few times a week in order to remove any dirt or loose hair lying on the body. If you have a long hair version of this breed, be sure to focus on the feathering and longer sections of the hair to remove any debris and tangles. Bathing only needs to happen occasionally or when your dog gets especially dirty. Besides brushing and bathing, regular ear cleaning should take place often as this breed has folded over ears that can trap moisture and foreign objects, leading to infection and irritation. Always thoroughly dry your dog’s ears after a bath or swimming. Nail trimming should happen every few weeks in order to keep the feet healthy.
